If this is an app created by Mr. Cool it should be taken down immediately. This is a joke with a company this size. Do not download!

Can’t add mini split to account

This used to work great, but then it stopped... and then I couldn’t add it again. Can’t get passed the connect to AC WiFi. I can connect to the WiFi, but then the app never lets me move forward in the process, just sending me back into my settings each attempt.
